Italy did not want to conquer all of Africa. They wanted to have some colonies like Germany, Britain, and other Eurpean countries. They had settled in Abyssinia in 1880's and were defeated in a battle in 1896. They wanted revenge and clamied control of Ethiopia, Eritrea and Italian Somaliland. This war with Abyssinia resulted in conflict with Britain that lead to an all-out war in northern Africa.
